Its title refers to a group of pieces in the show—tables, a desk, benches, and a chair—made of metals that wouldn't normally adhere in nature, but which Cocksedge has bonded through freezing. For example, the aluminum, steel, brass and copper Freeze Ring Table, shown here, is built from the center outward by freezing each ring using liquid nitrogen, then adding them, one by one, to those already in place. As the metal heats up over many hours, it expands a mere 2000th of an inch, but that's enough to permanently bond it to its neighbor.

Cocksedge, whose innovative designs include everything from a light made of Styrofoam coffee cups to "invisible" bookends, is fascinated by the ways the forces of nature, with minimal interference, shape materials. "The invisible is what makes everything here," he says. If these pieces look expensive, they are; prices range from $32,000 to $220,000, reflecting their extreme labor-intensiveness. "It's the opposite of trying to find efficiencies in making," Cocksedge explains. "It's about time—about trying to create the purest idea."

Cocksedge's design,in a London office building, eliminates the central load-bearing column usually found in such staircases, replacing it with a series of spaces for informal meetings or relaxation. The balustrade is planted to form a "flying" garden that could include edible plants.

Nominated for a 2015 Designs of the Year award from London's Design Museum, this is made of LEDs that are bright without being blinding. The light is also magnetic, allowing you to clip two together and thread them on your bike lock for safekeeping.

Made of mirror-finished stainless steel,this design holds up to almost five feet of books of any size. The thing is, you just can't see it. (The end books slide over the bookends.) The design, Cocksedge explains, "is not about appearance, only function. That's the beauty of it."

A small red cube that transforms old-school speakers into portable Bluetooth speakers, taking advantage of wireless technology while making it possible to enjoy older speakers' rich sound—and save them from landfills.

A hanging light made of heat-shrunk Styrofoam coffee cups, is a re-issue of Cocksedge's 2002 graduation project at the Royal College of Art. Its overall symmetry is broken by gaps that create a play of light and shadow.
